The Solemnity of the Annunciation and Back Porch Dining

Welcome to Carrots! I'm so glad you're here. This is where I share thoughts on liturgical living, faith, parenting, culture, and an extra dose of Jane Austen. You can sign up for my email newsletter here to stay in touch, or look me up on Facebook or Instagram!

Just a quick post of instagrams today. We’ve been fighting colds at our house and life is busy, busy.

For the Solemnity of the Annunciation, I made Sweet Potato and Carrot Lentil Curry Soup and Spelt-Flour, Dairy-free biscuits (hello, bacon grease!) for Benjamin and my gluten intolerance and his dairy allergies.

It’s been so beautiful outside that last night I set up a table on our back porch for dinner. Benjamin thought it was mighty fine to eat outside and when Lucy and I woke up this morning, the boys had breakfast prepared on the back porch for round two of eating outside.

Days when you wake up next to your sweet baby, stumble bleary-eyed out of your bedroom, are immediately handed a cup of miraculously delicious coffee by your handsome husband and are treated to German apple pancakes, fruit, and granola on the back porch are…well…splendid.

Gluten-free, Dairy-free success! And North Florida this time of year is simply gorgeous.

Thanks for the tip, Janelle! My nutritionist does think I’m allergic to gluten to some degree. But I definitely don’t have anything like celiac disease, my allergy is not very severe. I did know that spelt has gluten in it, but occasionally I’ll use it for cooking when I can’t say no to some delicious gluten 🙂 My husband bought me some different kinds of flour and made awesome pancakes out of it, but I’m still kind of intimidated by the weird flours. Someday I’ll learn to bake gluten-free!
